Feeling inspired by the recent sunshine I decided to have a spring clean of my flat. It’s amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in a short space of time without realising. I was finding stuff I don’t even remember buying - it makes me wonder if someone else who has had a spring clean decided to break in and leave all the stuff they didn’t want at the back of my cupboards.
Having spent a couple of days tidying cupboards only to turn round and find a pile of stuff on the floor that I no longer had room for, no matter how hard I tried to rearrange them to try and make them look smaller it just didn’t work and annoyingly it was all stuff I wanted to keep. I decided a new storage unit of some kind was required, which of course meant a trip to Ikea.
Having browsed their website I had a rough idea of what I wanted, so off I went, vowing not to buy anything I didn’t need - it seems every time I go to Ikea I come back with stuff that not only do I not need, but don’t have room for. Thankfully I found the unit I wanted and it was available in the self-service section so off I went, slip of paper in hand to find aisle 6 section D. It was in stock and I made it to the till with only 2 extra things, a new set of wine glasses (they were on offer, and I am having friends over for dinner soon so it seemed sensible) and some wierd stuffed toy thing for my dog, I have no idea what it is supposed to be, but it was cheap and cheerful and will keep him happy for a while, until he pulls all its stuffing out that is.
